Lancer FAW.9
History
The Lancer is a British aircraft that was designed and produced by British company: English Electric. It was designed to replace aircraft like the Lightning, Javelin and Sea Vixen in their roles as All-Weather Fighters.
In the late 1950s a English Electric engineer came up with a proposal for a variable geometry wing Interceptor for the RAF. This proposal was shelved until the late 60s when the RAF was seeking a replacement for their dated fighters. In total, the RAF ordered 40 but only 25 we're delivered before most of the British Aircraft Companies were merged into the BAC.

Addendum
I want to thank the Simpleplanes community for getting me through a especially rough time, it always makes me inspired to see the amazing things other people build. Sorry I couldn't make a cockpit for this plane, I am not too good at that.

nice custom missiles and flies very well. It will be great if the shape of the wing looks more modern
Let me know if anything is broken, had to rebuild it twice to get that two tone camo.
